Boise Firefighters Free Boy's Tongue from Metal Pole
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - In a scene out of the movie "A Christmas Story," a Boise boy got his tongue stuck to a metal pole as temperatures dropped below zero.
Boise firefighters used a glass of warm water to free the unidentified boy from the metal fence pole Tuesday morning.
Fire Capt. Bill Tinsley says the boy's tongue was bleeding a little bit, but he was OK and allowed to continue walking to school. Firefighters estimate the boy was 10 years old.
Rescue workers responded after a woman driving by saw the boy and called 911.

I'm guessing he was told by an adult not to do it so of course, since adults don't know shit he went ahead and did it anyway. There's junior firefighter written all over this one.
